If the property owner is deceased, he or she can no longer sign the deed. In that case, you need something different such as an Affidavit of Heirship, a probated Will or a court order determining heirship. First the deceased owner's name must be removed from the record ownership of the house (the title).
If one owner wants to sell a jointly owned property but the other owner(s) refuse, the party seeking to sell can file a partition action. This legal procedure allows a court to intervene and force the sale of the property, dividing the proceeds among the owners ing to their ownership interests.

If all the joint owners of an asset intended that when one of them died their share would pass to the other joint owner(s), then this is a survivorship asset. This type of asset is always owned equally and the deceased's share of the asset passes to the other joint owner(s) by survivorship.
The surviving shareholder(s) of a joint holding may deal with the holding upon production of a certified copy of the shareholder's death certificate. If all the joint shareholders are deceased, the executor(s) or administrator(s) of the last holder to die may deal with the holding.
If the shares are in the deceased's name alone, then the title to the shares passes automatically to the personal representatives. The personal representatives rights on how to deal with the shares will be dependent on the company's articles of association and any shareholders agreement.
